say Non slip or hi traction surface then LOL

FAF - Would like to see a section on the near extinction of the diving board in America as a result of litigation.

[edit] Height of springboards

In Germany springboards 5 metres, 7.5 metres and 10 metres above the water surface are common at many open air swimming pools. Not so in Englih speaking countries?

In the U.K. I've only seen fixed diving boards at such heights. Springboards tend to be lower. See http://www.southampton.gov.uk/leisure/leisurecentres/TheQuays/go-dive.asp Sharm 10:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
